BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION (1) Field of the Invention (2) Description of Related Art Including Information Disclosed under 37 CFR 1.97 and 1.98

The disclosure and prior art relates to storage devices and more particularly pertains to a new storage device for storing components of the game of horseshoes.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a storage unit that may be carried. A pair of stakes is provided. Each of the stakes penetrates ground. Thus, each of the stakes defines an associated one of a pair of horseshoe goals, each of the stakes is selectively positioned in the storage unit. A hammer is provided. The hammer is manipulated thereby facilitating the hammer to drive each of the stakes into ground. The hammer is selectively positioned in the storage unit. A plurality of horseshoes is provided. Each of the horseshoes is stored in the storage unit. Each of the horseshoes is thrown at an associated one of the horseshoe goals during gameplay.

There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.

The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.

The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a horseshoe storage system according to an embodiment of the disclosure.

FIG. 2 is a right side view of an embodiment of the disclosure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 through 5 thereof, a new storage device embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by the reference numeral 10 will be described.

As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 5, the horseshoe storage system 10 generally comprises a storage unit 12 that may be carried. The storage unit 12 comprises a box 14 that has a top side 16, a bottom wall 18 and a peripheral wall 20. The top side 16 is open to access an interior of the box 14. A post 22 is coupled to and extends upwardly from the bottom wall 18. The post 22 has a distal end 24 with respect to the bottom wall 18, a first surface 26 and a second surface 28.

The post 22 has a first aperture 30 extending through the first surface 26 and the second surface 28. The first aperture 30 angles upwardly between the bottom wall 18 of the box 14 and the distal end 24. The post 22 has a second aperture 32 extending through the first surface 26 and the second surface 28. The second aperture 32 angles upwardly between the bottom wall 18 and the distal end 24. Additionally, the first aperture 30 is spaced from the second aperture 32.

A knob 34 is coupled to the distal end 24 and the knob 34 may be gripped thereby facilitating the box 14 to be carried. A plurality of supports 36 is provided. Each of the supports 36 is coupled to and extends outwardly from the post 22. The supports 36 are spaced apart from each other. Each of the supports 36 is positioned closer to the distal end 24 of the post 22 than the bottom wall 18 of the box 14. Moreover, each of the supports 36 may be a threaded hook or the like.

A pair of stakes 38 is provided. Each of the stakes 38 is selectively positioned to extend through an associated one of the first aperture 30 and the second aperture 32. Thus, each of the stakes 38 is stored in the storage unit 12. Each of the stakes 38 has a first end 40. The first end 40 penetrates ground thereby facilitating each of the stakes 38 to define an associated one of a pair of horseshoe goals.

A hammer 42 is provided. The hammer 42 is manipulated thereby facilitating the hammer 42 to drive each of the stakes 38 into ground. The hammer 42 is selectively positioned in the storage unit 12. Moreover, the hammer 42 is suspended on the supports 36 when the hammer 42 is positioned in the storage unit 12.

A plurality of horseshoes 44 is provided. Each of the horseshoes 44 has a pair of spaced ends 46. Each of the horseshoes 44 may be thrown at an associated one of the horseshoe goals during gameplay. Each of the horseshoes 44 is positioned on the bottom wall 18. The post 22 is positioned between the pair of spaced ends 46 corresponding to each of the horseshoes 44.

In use, each of the stakes 38 and the horseshoes 44 are manipulated in the convention of the game of horseshoes 44. The hammer 42 is manipulated to drive each of the stakes 38 into ground. Each of the horseshoes 44 is positioned on the bottom wall 18 of the box 14 when gameplay is complete. Each of the stakes 38 is inserted through an associated one of the first aperture 30 and the second aperture 32 when gameplay is complete. The hammer 42 is suspended on the supports 36 and the storage unit 12 is carried.

With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, system and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.

Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
